This picture was taken at Exeter Quay in August 2020 of Optare Solo 321 (YJ11EKO). The location was used in the filming of the popular BBC tv series, The Onedin Line, Exeter Quay feigning to be Liverpool Docks, all the more appropriate that the tiny 22 seater started life with Huyton Travel on Merseyside.
